Peels remove the outer dead layers of the stratum corneum, so the booster ingredients are better absorbed when applied post-peel.

Trevor Wilson

Beaufort Interiors Ulster Life Interiors chats to one of Northern Ireland’s leading Interior Designers – Trevor Wilson from Beaufort Interiors based in Moira County Down and Chelsea Harbour, London.

Beaufort Interiors is an incredibly well known and successful NI business based in Moira. How has the company grown over the last 40 years?

Beaufort currently operates from three locations; 1. The headquarters in Moira (opened in 1989) where we have our design studio & sample library; our showrooms which are divided into 15 distinct room-settings, all of which display a different style of interior incorporating a wide range of design brands; and our workrooms where we make our clients’ curtains, cushions, headboards and upholstery.

2. The London showroom in the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour (opened 28

in 2016) where we display our own range of products called ‘The Beaufort Collection’. The London showroom also gives us a base from which we promote our manufacturing services to the trade, so freelance design professionals using the design centre appoint Beaufort to manufacture soft furnishings for their clients, (which are mostly in London, but all over the British Isles and beyond).

3. Our off-site warehouse where products for each project are collated and checked. We have over the years transferred some of the manufacturing to this location, but have found that having most of the production facilities on the same site as our designers is much more efficient. For a decade

UL

ULSTER LIFE INTERIORS

we also operated a showroom on the Lisburn Road in Belfast (2002-2012), which has now been transferred to an extension of the Moira premises.

Although we are a small company, we have a wide scope of services, operating in the design, retail and manufacturing industries with dedicated staff in each division. The managing director is my mother, Ruth Wilson who founded the company in 1982. I joined officially in 2005 and I am now also a company director. Elaine Mason who joined the company in 2002 is the Accounts Manager. Technical Services is headed

by John McGeown who joined the company in 2001 (and whose wife is a Beaufort designer). Cliona Malone handles all of the company’s marketing and social media activity.

and we have fabrics at £500/m; we also currently have sofas on display at under £3,000, and sofas at over £10,000).

Beaufort has become known for its involvement in large contracts such as The Galgorm Resort, The Merchant Hotel, Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships and Trinity Square London, but operates primarily within the private residential sector, and projects typically vary from an update for a single room to a whole house.

How do you get your ideas for a new What makes Beaufort Interiors project / What inspires you? different?

There are now hundreds of trade shows Beaufort is differentiated from most around the world showcasing new companies in the interiors industry design ideas, manufacturing techniques by its scope, in that we have an and new products. I generally attend at award-winning design team, bespoke least half a dozen every year, and I try to production capability and what is likely keep them varied so that the inspiration the widest selection of interiors products is always changing and I am always available. The array of styles we display learning. The main expositions I attend in our showrooms range from the very are the Milan Furniture Fair, Maison et traditional (I have been appointed by Objet Paris and some more industrythe National Museums to consult on specific textile events. Having designed period-specific interior elements), to my own range of products, we also cutting-edge contemporary (I have also Designexhibit Studioat&a number of shows ourselves The BEAUFOR designed a room-setting Showrooms, for an interiors such as the London Design Festivals, Workrooms at SIMPS trade-show titled ‘house of the future’).

UL What has been your favourite project to date?

That is a very difficult question! How much I enjoy a project is based almost entirely on my client’s reaction – if my work is appreciated, I know I’ve done a good job. Often projects that are the most challenging are the most rewarding. If it is a large project where there are perhaps multiple changes of use in different spaces, it gives me the opportunity to demonstrate more creativity.

Where do you start when decorating a home?

It is extremely important to us at Beaufort that we begin with getting to know our client’s needs & desires. So many of our competitors, and designers on TV, will push their style and taste onto the client. I feel that whether it is a commercial project such as a hotel or a restaurant, or a private home, the atmosphere that the designer creates through the manipulation of spatial planning, surface treatments and lighting, has to be one that is effective for the intended purpose of the space, and one that the users of that space will appreciate and enjoy.

What is your own personal style, in your own home?

As you might imagine, my own home is very eclectic! Having developed an appreciation for such diversity in styling; elements of my own home are minimal and purist, whilst other elements are unashamedly traditional, and this is a 30

ULSTER LIFE INTERIORS

theme that is continued throughout the house. For each of my three children’s bedrooms, I treated them as I would a client. They each provided me with a brief of what they wanted, I presented options to them in the Beaufort studio and they made their selections. The only difference was that it was me not them who dictated the budget!

What trends should we look out for this Autumn?

Darker moodier shades are coming in to vogue, with navy becoming more popular than blue, bronze metal finishes overtaking chrome and nickel, and darker wood shades like spessart oak leaving lighter shades behind. 2017 has already seen a swing towards artisan products and away from industrial or arts & crafts, which I think will certainly continue and indeed escalate this Autumn. Last year’s Pinterest-inspired coffee tables and book shelves made from recycled wooden pallets are being removed, and more skilfully produced materials are being introduced like delicately handblown glass and exquisite ceramics.

Beating stiff competition, Elizabeth was named among the five finalists as decided by an expert judging panel led by Philip Rodgers, owner of Philip Rodgers Design, before ultimately going on to win the overall prize.

My whole family are delighted that we have won this competition and are excited that we are finally going to have our dream bathroom.

The East Belfast native said she could no longer cope with her bathroom and even her three dogs, Tootsie, Betsy and Holly, couldn’t put up with it any longer!

Elizabeth’s entry secured the most votes 34

Bassetts Managing Director Alan Wright added, “It was a tight-run race but in the end, Elizabeth is a well-deserved winner and we are now working closely with the McGrogan family to make their dream bathroom a reality with the aim of installing it within the next few months.”

Splash Out this Summer at Exciting Exploris After an extensive refurbishment, the aquarium now offers an exciting experience with its reptile zone where you can meet the resident African Nile Crocodile, Madagascan Day Geckos and our latest edition of a Green Iguana, to name a few.

To reflect the seasonality of biodiversity in Strangford Lough and to publicise hot-topics within the scientific world, Exploris will be introducing our ‘Rise of the Jellies’, a new zone. From early June through to late summer, jellyfish can be observed in large abundances within Strangford Lough. At Exploris this summer we will be displaying these evolutionary success stories where you can pick up some jelly-tastic facts based on their ecology and lifecycle.

The outdoor otter enclosure is proving to be a big hit with visitors and a small-clawed Asian otter pup was recently born, while the Seal Sanctuary continues to be exceptionally busy with 22 seals being rehabilitated and released back to their native habitat in Strangford lough for the 2016/17 36

season. We are currently preparing for the incoming season in late May. A new themed soft play area, ocean pollution zone, extensive gift shop and a licensed restaurant, The Cracken, all add to the overall visitors experience for an enjoyable, fun and educational day out.

Ann Moreland, General Manager of Exploris Aquarium said, “Having welcomed over 100,000 visitors in the first 8 months, further visitor enhancements are being made including an improved queuing system, external picnic tables, additional toilets, baby changing facilities and a programme of themed events, competitions and activities all contribute to ensuring that the visitor has the best possible experience here at Exploris”.

ULSTER LIFE INTERIORS

Soaks Bathrooms Ulster Life Interiors chats to Wayne Lyons. Director of Soaks Soaks Bathrooms opened in 2004 and has grown from strength to strength. In 1999 I had bought my first house, the builder gave me a list of 4 bathroom showrooms where I had the options of choosing my bathrooms through the builders ‘PC Sum.’ I visited each and was extremely disappointed with the choice on offer.

What makes Soaks Bathrooms different?

Mainly Customer Service, due to having concentrated on great customer service a lot over the years, now over 7 out of 10 of our customers arrive at Soaks through recommendations from friends or family. The customer always comes first at Soaks and we have a great team to ensure this. The sales, delivery and office staff regularly receive thank-you cards, gifts, flowers etc from customers.

We always love it when this happens as it shows the customer appreciation of the service they have received at Soaks.

48

Our Facebook reviews say it all.

At Soaks Bathrooms, we believe the customer is always number one, we strive to make the customer experience the best in the industry. We have spent over £100,000 per year, each year for the past 4 years on our Belfast Showroom and will continue to do so.

This brings our showroom to a level of choice, design and quality beyond any of our competitors and gives customers a choice of bathrooms not available anywhere else in Ireland.

How do you get your ideas for a new project / What inspires you?

I travel to bathroom and interior exhibitions all around the world, at least once a month. This gives me the vision of where the market is moving, current and future trends and designs and the inspiration of what direction to bring Soaks in the future. I also take ideas from hotels around the world as hotels put a lot of effort into their bathroom

layouts and designs as they are usually replicating it many hundred times throughout the rooms. Bathroom trends are continuously changing, at Soaks we have always been ahead of the market and have no intentions of changing that.

What impact has technology had in bathroom design?

At Soaks we have always embraced technology in the industry and have been the first in the industry in using different types of technology. At Soaks we have used advanced 3d bathroom design software for many years so when a customer brings their room sizes into us, we create a 3d model of their bathroom. Most recently we were the first in Ireland to introduce a 4d bathroom design service to the industry.

With 4d we are able to design your bathroom, then you put on the latest Oculus Rift headset and you can look around your room. It is very realistic and every customer loves it.

Where will technology have a future impact in the Bathroom?

This is a very interesting subject, at present we have digital showers and bath controls available with the capability of filling your bath from your mobile phone. Toilets that have sensors to test your urine will be available in the future, I can’t say too much but I know some manufacturers are trailing this type of product. It will be a game changer. Imagine a toilet that will automatically test your urine each day and send the information to an app on

your smart phone? This information can then be analysed to provide you and your doctor with accurate information on your health. Excellent for someone with diabetes that need to check their blood sugars regularly. There will be the possibility of knowing about an illness early and being able to prevent it from getting worse. You can be assured Soaks will be the first to have this technology available.

How have toilets progressed in the Bathroom Washlet toilets are becoming the must have in a bathroom. Washlets are kind of like a toilet and bidet combined so when you approach it the lid will lift automatically and the seat is heated.

When sat down there is automatic odour extraction to remove unpleasant odours. When you are finished, there is a wash dry function; there is a wand with a gentle warm spray and a dryer. All settings including water/dryer temperature, water intensity and water spray location are totally customisable to each user. Over 70% of toilets in Japan are Washlets and they are selling extremely well in Ireland, I believe within 10 years most of us will have at least one installed in our homes. Toto are the main manufactures of Washlets, having sold over 40million worldwide, we just have been a bit slow to catch on in the western world! www.soaksbathrooms.com 5-7 Apollo Road, Belfast (Off Boucher Road) 028 9068 1121 49

Neptune

50

Leading interiors brand Neptune is set to open its first Irish flagship store on Belfast’s Ormeau Road this summer, bringing with it up to 20 local direct and indirect jobs.

“The Ormeau Road area is really taking off with new restaurants, cafes and bars complementing the existing businesses.

There is a real buzz and it is the perfect home for Neptune.”

Based in the iconic Ormeau bakery, Neptune is renovating the 5000 sq/ft. building to the highest standards.

Planning permission was recently given for the £750,000 project which will see a large section of the ground floor transformed into a Neptune showroom.

Neptune are among Ireland and the UK’s leading creators of quality home and interior products and their Belfast store will showcase their full collection from kitchen, dining and living, bedroom and bathroom, to outdoor furniture, accessories and lighting.

Work on the Neptune Belfast store is due to begin shortly and the store will open its doors in late-summer for trading, with an official ‘housewarming’ party in early September providing the perfect opportunity to see Neptune’s new AW17 collection.

Fergal McAdam, also the Director of Neptune by Malone & Smyth in Co Fermanagh, found the location for Neptune Belfast in the beautiful and historic Ormeau Bakery building which dates back to 1875.

“I love the Neptune product, I love every moment I spend in our shop and I am really excited about what we are going to do at Neptune Belfast.”

“Neptune make high-end interiors products and accessories available at an accessible price point. It is a unique brand that brings high-level quality and design to a much wider audience,” said Fergal.

Caroline Kidd Drives the New Honda Civic ULSTER LIFE DRIVES

The New Honda Civic

The Honda Civic needs little introduction as it’s one of the world’s most famous Japanese hatchbacks, having first appeared in 1972. Civic is synonymous with Honda, so the brand has pulled out all the stops to make the new tenth generation Civic the best yet.

The car has been completely restyled and the new Honda Civic cuts a very sporty presence, one that will really 62

appeal to fans of sporty Civics of the past! The pronounced wheel arches, aggressive nose, slim headlamps and large intakes set in the bumpers front and back mean it will always stand out in the car park. There are a choice of seven colours, but Rallye Red, White Orchid Pearl and Brilliant Sporty Blue Metallic really show off the Civic’s new look to maximum effect.

UL

Caroline Kidd Drives the New Honda Civic ULSTER LIFE DRIVES

Inside, the design and quality of the interior is much improved. The Honda Connect infotainment system is standard on all but the very basic models, and is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The new Honda Civic is longer, wider and lower than the car it replaces, so the good news is that there is now more interior space. Front shoulder room has been improved and there is nearly 10cm more legroom in the back. The boot is big and practical too at 478 litres.

Honda is launching new Civic with two new turbo petrol engines, with a diesel to arrive later this year. Buyers can choose from an entry level 1.0-litre VTEC Turbo (127hp) with low emissions and perfect for every day driving, or a more performance-oriented 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo with 180hp. Manual and CVT automatic gearboxes are available.

I had the opportunity to drive the new Honda Civic both at home and abroad and this is now a car that you will really enjoy driving. New Civic has been engineered with a renewed focus on rewarding driving dynamics and sits

on a new lightweight platform. The suspension set-up has been tweaked for a better balance between comfort and tight handling. The car feels utterly composed and balanced through corners and the new steering also has a more direct and sporty feel to it.

The Honda Sensing suite of safety features comes as standard on new Civic including a collision mitigation braking system, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, intelligent speed limiter, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and low speed following.

The new Honda Civic is available now from Donnelly Group starting at ÂŁ18,475.
